MLK wouldn’t have approved of Obama’s policies

Tuesday morning I saw in your paper an editorial cartoon depicting a statue of the great Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. looking on approvingly at Barack Obama’s second inauguration. I think this is slanderous to the memory of a great man of peace who, if he were alive today, would be crusading for justice for those “indefinitely detained” and tortured at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere and for an end to the insane Bush invasions which Obama promised to stop but did not.
This destroyer of hope, of lives, and, less importantly, of the American economy would not get the automatic approval of Dr. King because of his complexion; the content of his character would preclude it.

No longer can Obama and the Democrats blame Bush…….for what has turned out to be the failures of the past four years of Obama……to provide “hope and change”…..when all he did was more than double the annual deficits……and increase the National Debt in just four years what it took “Bush” to increase it in eight…….in the fallacy that the United States can achieve “prosperity” the more and faster it goes into debt…….and the bigger Debt we leave as an “inheritance” to our future generations.

It is…..comforting……for both parents and their children…..when the parents pass away and leave a “modest” inheritance to their children.

It is……not…..comforting……for the children and the grandchildren……when their parents go $17 Trillion in Debt trying to “buy prosperity”……and leave that $17 Trillion Debt to the children and their children to figure out a way to deal with it.

Hankalish

Amen to that!

Sad but true.
But then, an enthusiastic despot kills more faster than a reluctant puppet.

The fact is our POTUS HAS strings tied to his figurative hands that do force the Exceptional Empire along it’s ruinous path.
